(G)I-DLE Confirmed to Perform at ASEA 2025 This May

(G)I-DLE is set to shine at the "Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2025 presented by ZOZOTOWN" (ASEA 2025).
The ASEA 2025 Organizing Committee officially announced on April 14 that (G)I-DLE will take the stage on May 29 at K-Arena Yokohama in Japan, where the event will be held across May 28–29.

In 2023, (G)I-DLE topped domestic and international music charts with "Super Lady," the title track of their second full album "2" (Two). The album’s standout B-side, "Fate," also achieved remarkable success, climbing back up the charts to claim No.1 on the Melon TOP 100, No.2 on Melon's annual chart, No.1 on Genie Music's annual chart, and No.1 for the longest-charted K-pop song on Tencent Music’s charts.

Further solidifying their global presence, the group’s 7th mini album "I SWAY" and its title track "Klaxon" swept No.1 on iTunes charts across the globe, including Japan.
These achievements culminated in (G)I-DLE winning their first Grand Prize ("Record of the Year") at the 2023 Melon Music Awards (MMA), nearly six years after their debut. They also renewed their contracts as a full group with CUBE Entertainment, signaling an exciting new chapter.

As performers, (G)I-DLE continues to prove their incredible stage prowess. Beginning with a sold-out show at Seoul’s KSPO Dome in August 2023, the group embarked on their third world tour "(G)I-DLE WORLD TOUR [iDOL]," selling out shows across 14 cities worldwide including Hong Kong, Tokyo, Tacoma, Auckland, Anaheim, Houston, Rosemont, Belmont Park, Taipei, Bangkok, Macau, Melbourne, and Sydney.
Known for their versatile concepts and powerful performances, expectations are high for (G)I-DLE’s appearance at ASEA 2025.

Now in its second year, ASEA brings together Asia’s leading artists in a celebration of music that connects fans around the globe. The inaugural ASEA in 2024 featured top acts like Stray Kids, TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), DAY6, TREASURE, SHINee’s Taemin, and Creepy Nuts, thrilling music fans worldwide.
